Abstract
A single face shear experiment with numerous small deformations of the nailed joint was performed on plywood, OSB, MDF, and gypsum board to confirm whether cyclic deformations caused by moderate earthquakes affect the shear resisting wall of a wooden house. As a result, it was found that the maximum load and yield load are not significantly affected even when repeatedly small deformed. The reduction ratio of the load of gypsum boards was higher than that of other boards due to repeated deformation. Additionally, the equivalent stiffness of repeated specimens was reduced accordingly. It was supposed that the equivalent stiffness of the shear resisting wall decreases when it is repeatedly deformed.
